Journeyman armorer

Axeman's Trousers are heavy trousers in Common, Master and Magic variants. Every variant gives +4% piercing, +4% bludgeoning and +6% slashing resistance. One pair always lies in Arnvald's locked chest in the servants' room at Kaer Trolde citadel. Crafting them takes level 16, a mid-game requirement.

The Master variant adds 1 random effect and the crafted Magic variant adds 2. The crafted Magic variant gives 37-39 armor at level 16, rolled once when the diagram is obtained.

Axeman's Trousers Map Location and Quest Guide

A pair of Axeman's Trousers always sits in Arnvald's locked chest in the servants' room at the Kaer Trolde citadel. It can be opened only if Arnvald dies during King's Gambit, a secondary quest in Skellige. The pin marks the quest.

  1. Finish Possession and The Lord of Undvik. King's Gambit then starts at Kaer Trolde.
  2. Speak to Crach an Craite in his room, then kill the berserkers that attack the feast hall.
  3. Choose to help Cerys investigate the massacre.
  4. Trace the spiked mead to the wine cellar, blast the barrels with Aard to escape the fire, and follow the mead trail to Arnvald's thread.
  5. Chase Arnvald on Roach. Let him escape, or let him die at the beach.
  6. Search Arnvald's body and his room with Cerys. This route gives the key to Arnvald's locked chest.
  7. Open the locked chest in the servants' room at the Kaer Trolde citadel for the Axeman's Trousers.

Notes

Arnvald's chest can only be looted if Arnvald dies during King's Gambit.
